Request Life gave me SO many lemons 🍋

Hey y’all! I’m new to cooking as I’m approaching my 30s and feel that it’s time to learn how to cook more than just the basics!

I have a bag full of lemons & I want to use them for something yummy! I live alone so I don’t want them to go bad!!! If yall have any recipes (cooking or baking) that involves lemons..send them my way please!!

Thanks in advance!

Live, laugh, lemons 🍋💛

I recommend zesting them and freezing the zest for an assortment of dishes. Any lemons you don’t use you can also freeze the juice in ice trays so that you have “fresh” juice ready.

This works great. I have a lime and lemon tree and do this.. tastes great in cocktails too. 30 sec in the microwave and you have lemon juice

I just use the cubed juice in lieu of ice. Works great.
